One

Since everybody seems to be into the wordle thing, here's a 300 word wordle of Moby Dick:


Avast ye!

I'm curious why "One" is so prevalent in Moby Dick. I mean, you expect "ye" and "thee" and even "Starbuck" but "One?" Note how small "God" is. Kind of tells you something about the tale of Ahab, eh?
